SECTION 2 SERVICE OVERVIEW
2.1 General
2.1.1 Objectives
2.1.1.1 The objectives of this section are to provide:
— an overview all verification activities relating to lifting appliances
— details of DNV GL’s verification services for lifting appliances.
2.2 Service process
2.2.1 General principles
2.2.1.1 The description of the process of DNV GL’s verification of lifting appliances is based on distinct
project phases and the recognition of key milestones.
2.2.1.2 Verification performed by DNV GL normally progresses through one or more of these project phases
and may include all or selected aspects of the project.
2.2.1.3 The risk based verification process is described in relation to the normal project phases:
Project initiation:
— conceptual design.
Project realisation:
—
—
—
—
detail design
construction and factory acceptance test
installation and commissioning
issue of certificates enabling for operation.
Project operation:
— operation
— maintenance
— repair.
Project abandonment:
— decommissioning
— removal.
2.2.2 Simplified verification planning
2.2.2.1 The steps in the simplified verification planning are as follows:
— Use trigger questions to assess the overall risk level of the project (or manageable elements thereof).
— Evaluate the risk against the relevant owner or project acceptance criteria (often this can be directly tied
to the owner core values or a sub-set of these) and decide whether the general verification involvement
shall be low, medium or high.
— Use the example detailed scope of work tables in App.B to make a first draft of a verification plan
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017
Page 15
Verification of lifting appliances for the oil and gas industry
DNV GL AS
— Generate the project specific verification plan by including a project specific engineering judgment or risk
analysis to adjust the table to suit the project.
— Perform the verification execution according to the verification plan, making revision to the plan if and
when necessary.
— Report the verification.
2.2.2.2 The trigger questions are included in App.A.
2.2.2.3 Generic scopes of work for verification at the three levels of verification; low (L), medium (M) and
high (H), are given in the tables in this section.
2.2.2.4 Project specific detailed scope of work descriptions, based on the generic scopes of work tables and
showing all the activities to be verified, should be made. Examples of the level of detail are given in App.B.
2.2.2.5 Tables in this section give the principle differences between the levels of verification involvement.
The detailed example tables should be treated as examples only. They shall not be used without a project
specific confirmation of their completeness.
2.2.2.6 The project specific scope of work definition, derived from the tables in App.B (or similar), shall be
part of the final DNV GL verification report.
2.2.3 Selection of level of verification
2.2.3.1 The selection of the level of verification for the simplified verification planning is facilitated by the
trigger questions included in App.A.
2.2.4 Codes, standards and reference documents
2.2.4.1 The verification process described in this DNVGL-SE-0480 is not tailored to a specific technical
standard, code or reference document.
2.2.4.2 It is recommended to use internationally recognised codes or standards. Where combinations of
standards and external criteria are used the exact terms of reference and documents to be issued shall be
agreed at the beginning of the project and formally defined in the contract.
2.2.4.3 It is recommended strongly not to mix standards due to the possible differences in safety
philosophies.
Guidance note:
Most standards are a coherent collection of requirements for all the relevant aspects of a lifting appliance. These aspects, e.g. load
and resistance, are normally among themselves adjusted to give an overall acceptable safety level. To pick requirements from
different standards can then easily result in unpredictable and non-uniform levels of safety.
---e-n-d---o-f---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
2.3 Project initiation
2.3.1 Verification during conceptual design
2.3.1.1 Verification during the conceptual and/or feasibility studies of a project and in the early stages of a
project may reduce the need for verification during the design, construction and installation phases, and can
reduce costs during the long term operation, inspection and maintenance phases.
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017
Page 16
Verification of lifting appliances for the oil and gas industry
DNV GL AS
2.3.1.2 It is recommended to combine the design verification during project initiation phase with additional
review of:
— project schedule
— cost impacts
— business risks.
2.3.1.3 During this phase it may be beneficial to make an initial verification plan. Risk evaluations are carried
out during this phase and should be used to get an indication of the general verification level; Low, Medium
or High.
2.4 Project realization
2.4.1 General
2.4.1.1 All design, construction and installation aspects, relevant to a lifting appliance, may be covered by
the life cycle verification.
2.4.1.2 In this specification the split in the scope of work between design, construction and installation is
made between sets of requirements (specifications) developed during the various phases.
Guidance note:
The split between design, construction and installation may vary, but it is useful to spend some time on the definition to reduce
interface problems later.
---e-n-d---o-f---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
2.4.2 Verification of overall project management
2.4.2.1 Verification of the overall project management is the examination of the means of controlling the
entire process leading up to an operational lifting appliance.
2.4.2.2 This verification should confirm that the necessary controls are in place to ensure information flow
across the various interfaces. It is especially important where separate contractors have been employed for
different phases of the project such as design, construction and installation.
2.4.2.3 Typically the documentation is expected to be in line with ISO 9000 requirements.
2.4.2.4 Definition of scope of work for verification of overall project management shall follow Table 2-1.

2.4.4 Verification during construction and factory acceptance test
2.4.4.1 This phase comprises prefabrication, fabrication, assembly, erection and Factory acceptance Test.
An important element is to ensure that the contractual design requirements are incorporated in the purchase
documentation, and that correct materials, components and proper testing procedures are applied such that
it meets the requirements as per approved specifications and procedures. It is recommended that relevant
preparations for this is started as early as possible, e.g. by the appointment of a vendor supply verification
co-ordinator.
2.4.4.2 Verification during construction and factory acceptance test is carried out by means of attendance,
audits, inspection or spot checks of the work as well as witnessing of factory acceptance test, as appropriate,
in sufficient detail to ensure that the specified requirements of the lifting appliance will be achieved.

2.4.5.1 This phase comprises shipment, installation, testing and commissioning in conjunction with hand
over of the lifting appliance to the user and to bring the lifting appliance into use for the first time.
2.4.5.2 An important element is to ensure that the lifting appliance as installed on its final location meets
the requirements in the regulations and as per approved specifications and procedures. It is imperative that
relevant preparations for this is started as early as possible, e.g. by the appointment of a installation and
commissioning responsible co-ordinator.
2.4.5.3 Verification during installation and commissioning is carried out by means of attendance, audits,
inspection or spot checks of the work as well as witnessing of function and overload testing, as appropriate,
in sufficient detail to ensure that the specified requirements of the lifting appliance will be achieved.

APPENDIX A SELECTION OF VERIFICATION LEVEL
A.1 General
A.1.1 General principles
A.1.1.1 The selection of the level of verification depends on the risk level of each of the elements that have
an impact on the management of risks to the asset.
A.1.1.2 Verification shall direct greatest effort at those elements of the asset where the risk is highest and
whose failure or reduced performance will have the most significant impact on the project objective and
goals, e.g.:
— safety risks,
— environmental risks,
— economic/business risks.
A.1.1.3 Suitable selection factors include, but are not limited to, the:
—
—
—
—
—
—
overall safety and other objectives for the asset
assessment of the risks associated with the asset and the measures taken to reduce these risks
degree of technical innovation in the asset
experience of the contractors in carrying out the work
quality management systems of the owner and its contractors
business risk associated with schedule impact and rework.
A.1.1.4 Due to the diversity of various lifting appliances, their contents, their degree of innovation,
the geographic location, etc., it is not possible to give precise guidelines on how to decide what level of
verification is appropriate for each particular structure.
A.1.1.5 Therefore, guidance is given in the form of a series of questions that should be answered when
deciding the appropriate level of verification for a process facility. This list is not exhaustive and other
questions should be added to the list if appropriate for a particular process facility.
A.1.1.6 It is emphasised that the contribution of each element should be judged qualitatively and/or
quantitatively. Wherever possible quantified risk assessment data should use to provide a justifiable basis for
any decisions made.
A.1.1.7 Depending on the stage of the project, the activities may not have taken place yet in which case the
questions should also be posed in another form, i.e. “Is …. planned to be?”
A.2 Trigger questions
A.2.1 Overall project objective and goals
— Does the safety objective address the main safety goals?
— Does the safety objective establish acceptance criteria for the level of risk acceptable to the owner?
— Is this risk (depending on the type of appliance and its location) also measured in terms of environmental,
economic and political consequences?
— In terms of scope of work is the project schedule realistic?
— Does the contract place severe financial penalties if target dates for commissioning are not met?
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017
Page 25
Verification of lifting appliances for the oil and gas industry
DNV GL AS
Guidance note:
Substitute safety objective with other relevant objectives for the project, and go through all of them.
---e-n-d---o-f---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
A.2.2 Assessment of risk
— Has a systematic review been carried out to identify and evaluate the probabilities and consequences of
failures in the lifting appliance?
— Has this review judged the contribution of each element qualitatively and/or quantitatively and used,
where possible, quantified risk assessment data to provide a justifiable basis for any decisions made?
— Does the extent of the review reflect the risk level of the lifting appliance, the planned operation and
previous experience with similar appliances?
— Does this review identify the risk to the operation of the lifting appliance and to the health and safety of
personnel associated with it or in its vicinity?
— Has the extent of the identified risks been reduced to a level as low as reasonably practicable by means of
one or both of:
— reduction in the probability of failure?
— mitigation of the consequences of failure?
— Has the result of the systematic review of the risks been measured against the owner’s safety (or other)
objective?
— Has the result of this review been used in the selection of the appropriate verification activity level?
— In terms of schedule which are the items which have a significant impact?
A.2.3 Technical innovation
— Has the degree of technical innovation in the lifting appliance design been considered?
— Has it been considered that risks to the structure are likely to be greater with a high degree of technical
innovation than with an appliance designed, fabricated and installed to usual/typical criteria?
— Have factors been considered in the selection of the appropriate verification level such as:
— degree of difficulty in achieving technical requirements?
— knowledge of similar solutions?
A.2.4 Contractors’ experience
— Has the degree of risk to the design/fabrication and installation been considered with respect to the
experience of the manufacturer/contractor?
— Has the degree of risk been considered where the manufacturers/contractors are experienced but not in
similar work?
— Has the degree of risk been considered where the work schedule is tight?
A.2.5 Quality management systems
— Have all parties involved in the project implemented an adequate quality management system to ensure
that gross errors in the work are limited?
— Do these parties include the:
— owner
— design contractor
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017

whether or not an ISO 9000 or equivalent certified system is in place?
results from external audits?
results from internal audits?
experience with contractors’ previous work?
project work force familiarity with the quality management system?

APPENDIX B DETAILED EXAMPLE SCOPE OF WORK TABLES FOR
VERIFICATION
B.1 General
B.1.1 General introduction
B.1.1.1 This appendix provides the format of the detailed verification lists (tables), generated for typical
systems comprising a lifting facility:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
cranes
lifting accessories
lifting appliances for life saving equipment
lifting person devices
drilling hoisting equipment
robots.
which shall be made for each particular project.
B.1.1.2 The detailed project specific verification lists for the chosen level of verification shall be based on
these tables.
B.1.1.3 For project scenarios or components not covered in this appendix, similar lists with the same degree
of detail shall be made.
B.1.1.4 If any of the activities are moved from one phase to another, then this should be clearly identified on
the list where it is removed. Similarly, the detailed list for the phase to where it is moved shall be amended.
Guidance note:
Typically, contractual boundaries may give natural splits of activities between phases. However, then it is even more important to
ensure that there is a traceably as to which phases what activity belong and that this is also conveyed to the contractors also.
---e-n-d---o-f---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
B.2 Description of terms used in the scope of work tables
B.2.1 General
B.2.1.1 The following abbreviations have been used. The definitions of which are given subsequently:
—
—
—
—
—
A is audit
S is surveillance
H is hold point
R is review
I is for information.
B.2.1.2 These abbreviations are DNV GL’s preferred terms and normally will be used in DNV GL generated
documents. However, other terms, for example monitoring or witnessing, will be used by DNV GL if these
are the terms commonly used in documents, such as inspection and test plans, generated by others. In that
case, it is expected that these other terms are defined in these documents.
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017

B.2.2 Audit
B.2.2.1 Systematic and independent examination to determine whether quality activities and related results
comply with planned arrangements and whether these arrangements are implemented effectively and are
suitable to achieve objectives (ISO 8402:1994).
Guidance note:
This activity differs from the surveillance by being focused on the adherence to and completeness and robustness of the
procedures and not on the actual result of the procedure (although this is not ignored). Further, the audit is normally a ‘one-off’
activity as opposed to the continuity in monitoring.
---e-n-d---o-f---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
B.2.3 Surveillance
B.2.3.1 Continual monitoring and verification of the status of an entity and analysis of records to ensure that
specified requirements are being fulfilled (ISO 8402:1994).
Guidance note:
Other commonly used terms for surveillance are monitoring or witnessing.
---e-n-d---o-f---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
B.2.3.2 The amount of work involved in surveillance is not described in detail in the tables. This shall be part
of the final contractual scope of work which shall define the frequency of surveillance based on the overall
surveillance and the quality control performed by other parties as well as DNV GL’s experience.
B.2.3.3 The following shall be used to describe the frequency if nothing else is specifically defined:
S1
S2
S3
= surveillance on a visit basis, e.g. once per week or sample review 10-20%
= surveillance frequency minimum once per day or review of 50-60%
= surveillance frequency minimum once per shift or review of 100% of items
Guidance note:
These surveillance frequencies may be modified to correspond with production work flow.
---e-n-d---o-f---g-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
B.2.4 Review
B.2.4.1 Systematic examination of reports and documentation against a project defined verification basis.
The depth of review will depend both on the type of document and the level of involvement.
B.2.4.2 The following shall be used to describe the extent of the review if nothing else is specifically defined:
I
R1
R2
= for information only
= review of principles and general aspects
= Review of principles, general aspects and spot check of calculations
Guidance note:
Review of production records does not guarantee their correctness. It is a confirmation to DNV GL that the manufacturer and/or
sub-contractor has preformed the required activity and issued a report.

B.4 Design
B.4.1 General
B.4.1.1 Design consists of conceptual and detailed design and their associated documentation.
B.4.1.2 The scope of work for design verification is shown in tables listed in this chapter, for various types
of lifting appliances. The tables states a recommended scope of work for low, medium and high level
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017
Page 30

verification, and may be changed upon an agreement between the client and DNV GL based on the method
listed in App.A.
B.4.1.3 For manufacturers and vendors who have established a DNV GL approved ISO9000 quality system
covering design of lifting appliances, this may reduce the scope of work accordingly, upon agreement with
DNV GL. App.B describes the issues to be reviewed and the extent of verification included in the three
verification levels.
B.4.2 Verification during design
B.4.2.1 For verification of lifting appliances during design the following activities are considered:
— initial activities
— review activities
— final activities.
The initial activities includes a review of basic project information, design criteria and the design quality
management system of the designer. The review activities include evaluation of documentation related to the
design of the lifting appliance. The final activities include issuance of a design verification report.
B.4.3 Low level design verification
B.4.3.1 The low level design verification consists of a minimum verification involvement in order for DNV
GL to issue a design verification report. Provided that the proceeding verification activities are performed
during construction, FAT, installation and commissioning, a DNV GL certificate of lifting appliance may finally
be issued. The ow level verification scheme is based that the risks associated with potential faulty design is
considered to be low, typically for smaller, low capacity lifting appliances. The client may find internal control
measures sufficient and choose a low level design verification based on formal requirements towards the
designer, such as quality assurance requirement, internal verification or EC Declaration of Conformity issued
by the manufacturer. Low level design verification will imply that the manufacturer is the sole responsible for
the technical construction file, and that a very limited extent of documentation is subject for design review.
B.4.4 Medium level design verification
B.4.4.1 Medium level design verification consists of a review of main design documents related to safety
and integrity. Critical aspects will be spot checked with focus on strength and integrity. The review will be
detailed for high risk aspects and independent checks will be performed. The medium level design verification
corresponds to the ILO certification scheme applied world wide in the maritime area. See DNVGL-ST-0377
Standard for shipboard lifting appliances or DNVGL-ST-0378 Standard for offshore and platform lifting
appliances.
B.4.5 High level design verification
B.4.5.1 High level design verification consists of a full review of most of the produced documents related to
safety and integrity, including SHE aspects, performance and endurance of the lifting appliance. The main
specifications are also checked. The review will be detailed for all high risk aspects and independent checks
will be performed. Less critical aspects will be spot checked. High level design verification is recommended
for lifting appliances representing high risks, such as high capacity cranes, cranes lifting over process areas,
cranes lifting persons, etc.

B.5 Construction and factory acceptance test
B.5.1 General
B.5.1.1 Construction and factory acceptance test (FAT) consists of fabrication site activities and their
associated documentation.
B.5.1.2 The scope of work for verification during construction and FAT is shown in tables listed in this
chapter, for various types of lifting appliances. The tables states a recommended scope of work for low,
medium and high level verification, and may be changed upon an agreement between the client and DNV GL
based on the method listed in App.A.
B.5.1.3 For manufacturers and vendors who have established a DNV GL approved ISO9000 quality system
covering construction and FAT of lifting appliances, this may reduce the scope of work accordingly, upon
agreement with DNV GL.
B.5.1.4 For manufacturers who have established a manufacturing survey agreement (MSA) with DNV GL, in
order to systematically survey the construction and FAT activities, this arrangement may be used instead of
the verification scheme listed in this chapter, upon further agreement.
B.5.2 Construction and factory acceptance test verification
B.5.2.1 For verification of lifting appliances the following activities are considered:
— initial activities
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017
Page 40
Verification of lifting appliances for the oil and gas industry
DNV GL AS
— surveillance, review and test activities, and
— final activities.
B.5.2.2 The initial activities include the review of procedures, attendance during qualification of procedures
(e.g. MPQT) and personnel (e.g. welders) and other start-up activities. The surveillance, review and test
activities are the site attendance and the final activities are the review of production results/records, and the
completion of documentation and reports.
B.5.3 Low level construction and factory acceptance test verification
B.5.3.1 For low level verification, no verification activities are stated. For this verification level, it is assumed
that construction and FAT of the lifting appliance in question is associated with low risk. This may be caused
by the type and nature of the particular lifting appliance, or due to extensive internal quality assurance
measures taken by the manufacturer or the client to ensure that all requirements are met.
B.5.3.2 Some of the potential verification activities during construction and FAT for low level verification will
however be covered by verification during installation and commissioning.
B.5.4 Medium level construction and factory acceptance test verification
B.5.4.1 For medium level verification, the procedure review consists of a review of principles and general
aspects of the construction quality system, design review reports and procedures for construction and FAT.
B.5.4.2 During construction, DNV GL’s verification will be performed by part time attendance at the main
site. The verification will mainly be spot check survey of structural parts and their assembly. Further, review
of the construction records and the manufacturing record book will be reviewed by spot check.
B.5.4.3 Verification of the final activities will be carried out witnessing of safety critical parts of the FAT. An
inspection release note will then be issued.
B.5.5 High level construction verification
B.5.5.1 For high level verification, the initial activities consist of a detailed review of construction
management system and procedures. A quality audit will be performed. Design verification reports and the
FAT procedure will be reviewed. Any design changes will be required to be verified before construction.
B.5.5.2 Survey activity will include all main elements, SHE aspects, performance, endurance properties
and marking. Depending on the fabrication schedule, part or full time attendance during construction will be
required. Verification will focus on the critical items and or aspects as identified in the detailed scope of work
tables.
B.5.5.3 Verification of the final activities will be by detailed review of the production records and witnessing
of FAT during testing of safety critical aspects as well as performance and endurance tests.
B.5.5.4 Finally an inspection release note and a FAT verification report will be issued.

B.6 Installation and commissioning
B.6.1 General
B.6.1.1 Installation and commissioning consists of a number of different activities at the installation site
including reviews, surveys and witnessing of testing.
B.6.1.2 The scope of work for verification during installation and commissioning is shown in tables listed in
this chapter, for various types of lifting appliances. The tables states a recommended scope of work for low,
medium and high level verification, and may be changed upon an agreement between the client and DNV GL
based on the method listed in App.A.
B.6.1.3 For manufacturers and vendors who have established a DNV GL approved ISO9000 quality system
covering installation and commissioning of lifting appliances, this may reduce the scope of work accordingly,
upon agreement with DNV GL.
B.6.2 Verification during installation and commissioning
B.6.2.1 For verification of lifting appliances during installation and commissioning the following activities are
considered:

final activities.
B.6.2.2 The initial activities include review of the quality management system for installation and
commissioning and other start-up activities. The surveillance activities are the site attendance, the review
activities may be carried out prior to or at site and the test and final activities are the (continuous) review of
installation and commissioning results/records and the completion of documentation and reports.
B.6.3 Low level installation and commissioning verification
B.6.3.1 For low level verification, the initial activities consist of a limited review of the documentation from
the previous phases.
B.6.3.2 During the surveillance activities, main focus will be on the installation of the lifting appliance and
the foundation and the interface between the foundation and the lifting appliance. Also access and escape
routes, signs and marking will be surveyed. The verification will be performed during site visits.
B.6.3.3 The subsequent review activities will focus on the documentation for the foundation structure
and the manufacturing record book, including construction and FAT but also from the installation and

C.2 Use of quality management systems
C.2.1 General
C.2.1.1 The assurance of structural integrity requires that gross errors during design, construction and
operation be minimised. The likelihood of gross errors shall be reduced in a systematic manner by the
operation of a quality management system adequate for the work being carried out.
C.2.1.2 Quality management systems frequently are documented at three levels:
— the quality manual and related procedures document how the organisation, as a whole, manages the
quality of all its products and services
— the quality plan documents the specific procedures related to a particular project
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017
Page 62
Verification of lifting appliances for the oil and gas industry
DNV GL AS
— the inspection and test plan documents how the quality control activities for a particular project shall be
carried out and recorded.
C.2.2 Quality plans
C.2.2.1 The basic function of a quality plan is as an aide in the management of a project. In an organisation
with many quality procedures for a variety of functions the quality plan states those that are applicable to
that particular project. The quality plan acts as a route map through the complexities of management of the
project and highlights those activities relevant to quality management.
C.2.2.2 The project quality plan normally consists of two parts; firstly, a narrative description of the means
of controlling the project, and secondly, a tabular description of the inspections and tests to be carried out
during the work.
C.2.2.3 The quality plan should address:
—
—
—
—
—
organisational details of the project
authorities and responsibilities of key personnel
interfaces between, the client, contractors, sub-contractors and third parties
quality assurance activities placed on sub-contractors
cross references to existing company procedures.
C.2.2.4 The narrative part of the quality plan should include a description of:
—
—
—
—
—
the applicable standards
project organisation and responsibilities
review of the contractual requirements
project planning and progress reporting
procedures for such activities as design control, purchasing, construction, installation, commissioning,
interface control and auditing
— procedures for inspection and maintenance as well as normal operation
— emergency response issues.
C.2.2.5 Additionally, the narrative part of the plan should describe the documentation requirements. It
should be specified:
—
—
—
—
—
—
—
—
what documents are required
at what stage these documents are required
who is responsible for preparing the documents
relevant parties to whom documents are submitted
how any necessary approvals are acquired
who has originals and who has copies
if copies have to be certified copies
the length of time documents shall be retained and by whom.
C.2.3 Inspection and test plans
C.2.3.1 The tabular description of the inspections and tests to be carried out during the work is frequently
known as the inspection and test plan.
C.2.3.2 The following items should be checked for inclusion within the inspection and test plan:
— each inspection and test point and its relative location in the production cycle should be shown
— the characteristics to be inspected and tested at each point should be identified
Service specification — DNVGL-SE-0480. Edition July 2017
Page 63
Verification of lifting appliances for the oil and gas industry
DNV GL AS
— the use of sub-contractors should be indicated and details of how the verification of sub-contractor’s
quality shall be carried out should be shown
— hold points established by the constructor, the operator or a third party, where witness or review of the
selected inspection or test is required, should be shown.
C.2.4 Review of quality management programme
C.2.4.1 The contractor’s quality manual shall be reviewed for compliance with ISO 9001 or 9002 as
appropriate. The contractor’s operations should be audited to establish compliance with the documented
system.
C.2.4.2 If the contractor has a quality system certified by an accredited third party certification body,
this may be taken as evidence of a satisfactory quality system provided the certificate is relevant to the
contractor’s scope of work for the project. However, the last two years’ periodical audit reports shall be
reviewed to identify if any recurring non-conformities have been revealed.
C.2.4.3 Any weaknesses revealed during this audit, or review of periodical audit reports, shall be considered
when planning the contractor monitoring activities.
C.2.4.4 Surveillance of the continuing acceptability of the contractor’s quality management system is carried
out by observing a selection of audits carried out by the contractor as part of its internal audit system. The
audits to be observed should be selected over the length of the project at suitable intervals and should cover
as wide a selection of activities as possible.
C.2.4.5 Contractors’ inspection and test plans for the various activities undertaken during their scope of work
for the pipeline shall be reviewed and accepted, if adequate.
